There is a way to address the negative influences that are attributed to this season, Prayer, thanksgiving, Praise/Worship, Fasting, Tithing, Offerings, Communion (bread & wine), and Celebration of the Birth of Our Saviour... spiritual warfare intensifies when there is a threat to the enemy of advancement by the Children of God. Look around and see what is happening to the Holiday itself, substitutions taking place... say Happy Holidays rather than Merry CHRISTmas, Santa Claus rather than Saint Nicholas, Magical Season (Our Father frowns upon magic & sorcery) rather than Miracles & Wonders. The focus has been misdirected, deception is one of the tools of the adversary. Peace on Earth comes thru Peace within... "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27We are called to be a blessing to others, to pray and encourage, to be the Good Samaritan, nothing escapes the Presence of Our Father, if you sow love you will reap Love... thru the struggles... there will still be a harvest, in the name of Jesus. God is Love, and Jesus is the Son of LOVE.The Lord Bless you!
